Solution to Sync Google Calendar With Symbian Devices
Google Calendar has become a powerful Calendaring tool with the latest OutlookSync capability and with other services that use Google Calendar API.
Om Malick, proud owner of a Nokia N95, shares some other 3 free and commercial solutions that allow Symbian devices to sync between Google Calendar and Symbian Calendar.
- GCalsync: Gcalsync is a freeware java program that will sync multiple Google Calendars with your Symbian calendar. Unfortunately, this open-source project lacks an intuitive user interface. Downloading and installing is straightforward, but operation of the application is clunky at best.
- Calsync60: A new entrant into the Symbian software market, CalSync60, is winning fans in the Nokia blog community. This S60 native application runs quickly and is dead simple to use. Download and install the application from their web site, enter in your Google credentials, and the sync process will begin. CalSync60 also supports two-way syncing and the application will set calendar item alerts as they are configured in your Google Calendar.
- GooSync: GooSync is a commercial web service that comes in two flavors — free and premium. With the free service, you can sync only one Google Calendar and can only sync events 30 days out. The premium service, which is £19.95 ($40) a year, will allow you to sync contacts, set categories for calendar items and contacts, sync up to 365 days out, allow you to sync multiple calendars, and execute autosync.To set up the service, go to GooSync and create an account. Through the sign-up process you grant GooSync access to your Google Calendar. You are then given access to the GooSync installer file for your Nokia phone. After installation and set-up, GooSync is an option in your Tools->Sync menu, making syncing quick and painless.

Calsync60 is now called GoogaSync and costs about $20.
GCalSync dosen’t seem to work with newer Nokia phones, but then again, the latest version is now over 2 years old.
I tried GooSync over and over again and the free version has problems with syncing birthdays. If I have a correctly set birthday on my phone after first sync it duplicates it and makes it a memo and after the second sync it makes both the entries memos. I’ve tried numerous tricks to overcome this but I had no succes. It’s annoying.
On the oher hand I used calsyncS60 and it worked like a charm. I’ve also tested GoogaSync and being based on calsyncS60 also works like a charm. Plus it has a built in scheduler.
